Celestial Maiden. Japanese Tales

Fearless, desperate, and amusing heroes, princesses and noble lords, kind old men and resourceful animals – they all inhabit the wonderful worlds of Japanese tales. Wise and kind, sad and joyful. In them, villains always get their due, and good... is rewarded tenfold. Even if lovers are separated by the Celestial River, it shines in the night to delight all who live on Earth, and the hero, returning home after three centuries, transforms into a beautiful crane – a symbol of long life.
Translated from Japanese and narrated to us these enchanting stories about friendship, compassion, love, and heroism by Vera Markova, a renowned translator and orientalist.

Unique atmospheric illustrations were created by Yana Sedova, a multiple laureate of the "Image of the Book" award and holder of the international "Pineapple" award for illustrators (Beijing).
